Seems to me that I was having that problem and it was related to the output database line. I am now using log and alert and I'm getting portscans logged to ACID.

I've been running Snort with Acid for awhile now,
and everything seems
to be working properly, except detection of
portscans. I'm using Snort
2.0 on RH8, and I'm logging to a MySQL database. I
tried enabling the
portscan preprocessor in the snort.conf file:
"preprocessor portscan:
$HOME_NET 4 3 /var/log/portscan.log". I ran a few
portscans to test the
preprocessor, but I didn't see anything happening in
the ACID console,
though the scans appear in the /var/log/portscan.log
file.
Next I tried disabling this preprocessor, and
enabling the
conversation preprocessor: "preprocessor
conversation:
allowed_ip_protocols all, timeout 60,
max_conversations 3000", as well
as the portscan2 preprocessor: "preprocessor
portscan2: scanners_max
256, targets_max 1024, target_limit 5, port_limit
20, timeout 60".
After restarting snort, and running a few portscans,
I'm still not
seeing anything in the ACID console. Is there a
parameter I'm missing
to get snort to log these portscans into the MySQL
database?
Any help is appreciated, Mike F.
Mike, http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/~rdanyliw/snort/acid_faq.html#faq_b7 I had the same issue ;-) James __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
